Unity - Abandoned - Kinky Life Game [v0.8.0.3] [SamCannis95]

Graphics, Story, Gameplay, Theme... You name it! This game have everything. The 3D paperdoll is unforgetable and should be copied by everybody. It's really sexy.
Except the dev abandonned the project. SAD!

Bugs, continuity issues (heavy continuity issues), and the DRM not unlocking properly even if you do donate (you need a .dll crack to get full access). In addition to that there are certain mechanics, like masturbation, that have non-repeating scenes that you can simply run out of and are disjointed from the rest of the game. The most notable effect is certain characters will no longer be visitable, even if they have unseen or repeatable scenes. If you can overlook those issues then you have a life sim that turns into a vn over time.


Essentially you are a normal boy that has been caught up in an unethical program, and the bad actors make a few amateurish attempts to break you.
The game wants you to willingly, but not willingly, feminize yourself. To the game's credit you can play through a decent amount of the content as a boy. I have no idea if you will be able to finish the game as a boy as the story is incomplete.

Once you start the feminization path the bugs start coming out and player choices become basically non-existent as MC will meekly obey any bad actor giving them orders at that point. I'm not sure if end game content is on the far end of the previously mentioned bugs as I was not able to stomach any more continuity being shoved in a blender. For what I did play, at no point can you try to inform anyone of the evil tm. plot in the school, and at no point can you disrupt any part of the plot at the school. All you can really do is study until you can get enough school points to not get punished, unlock internet porn so that you can manage your horny stat effectively, and try to date one (or all, as there are no scene checks for cheating) of your classmates. That's the game as it exists now.


Pros:

- Above average avatar system (still a bit buggy)

- Playable masculine route (almost bug free)

- Decent combat system and stealth minigame

Cons:

- The game's continuity dies after the feminization route starts

- The player becomes a passive vehicle for the narrative to happen at after the feminization route starts

- Numerous bugs from the continuity issues interacting with the railroaded feminization storyline

- low quality real porn

- unskippable sissy hypno montoges that play for obnoxiously long

- Broken DRM system

- CARDINAL SIN OF THE GENRE: Half assed a pseudo-forced feminization. The MC knows exactly what's going to happen if they choose option A, is 100% not okay with it, if chosen makes no attempt to fight or resist it in any way, and you are under zero obligation character-wise to choose option A. You can make a voluntary feminization route, or a forced feminization route. These are diametrically opposed forces in the genre, trying to half-ass it like this game does ruins both experiences.

Review of version 0.7.1, minor spoilers ahead.

The best feature of this game is its story combined with an amazing world-building. I won’t give too much away, but there’s a lot of mind control, government secret projects, dark cults meeting at night and a little of lovecraftian-tier mystery. I think it’s worth trying for this aspect alone.

When it comes to sex scenes, they are well written, and what's more important – fucking hot. Especially later scenes, like bisex scenes with both your guardian and neighbor. Just thinking about it makes dopamine burst to my brain. Some of them have voice acting, which is a nice touch. I just wish there were some orgy/gangbang scenes, but perhaps dev will add some since he's back.

My biggest issue is main character’s cringe ass interactions with other people at the beginning of the game. This later improves as his dialogues gains a nice touch of sarcasm and monologues becomes more thoughtful.

There’s a surprisingly wide variety of gameplay mechanics for this kind of game. Stealth missions, “psychological association tests” and fighting mechanics based on obtaining various cards throughout your playthrough. I think that shows dev’s intention on making the game unique among other in this genre. I wish it was implemented more frequently though, because it’s mostly one-time events. There's also a short side-story taking place in XIX century, it's fully optional but it's worth trying since it partially explain origins of this mysterious town

From the technological side – ambient is very nice, background images are trying to maintain coherent style with ok results, 3D avatar nicely reflects character changes, though minor bugs may occur.

Overall, good game, best in sissyfication niche

probably the best PE knockoff I've played - iamges are good, it isn't too grindy and all of the writing is rpetty decent. The Model looks a bit rough at first but starts to look a lot better once you get going/

This game is one of what I call the "sissy transitioning simulator" Twine games.

The core of this genre is femdom, chastity, gradual feminization of the initially male protagonist's mind and body until they're at the very least a full "sissy" (still has a cock, but passes for a girl when crossdressing), and eventual submissive relationships with the game's heroines if you do their paths. In addition, there are lot of shared tropes like being forced to do housework in a maid outfit, being lewdly brainwashed by your therapist, taking on a lewd part time jobs, school bullies, stealing your female housemate's underwear, buying sex toys at the mall, a disciplinarian teacher, etc. etc. that are in a large % of games in this genre.

In KLG, you start off as a boy in high school, living with your not-mother after moving to a new town. You wake up every day, masturbate, go to school, fool around with your 3 sexy female classmates, or please/annoy your teacher to spend time with her instead. After school, you can spend more time with your female classmates, or with your mother, or earn money (the only real job early on is "helping her around the house") to buy a few random items.

The town is also connected to some kind of conspiracy that I won't talk about in case you care about spoilers, but basically it's both magical and technological. There's a main story arc you can follow, but I only bothered with a little bit of it.

I'll talk about what KLG does differently.
- Locks a lot of content behind the Patreon version.
- There's no wardrobe management system. Which works out okay, because you still have a detailed avatars which automatically reflects the outfit you've switched into as part of the scene's plot, so it still feels immersive (but if you want the ultimate sandbox experience, play a different title in this genre).
- The player avatar is 3D and subtly animated. This is neat, and there's only 1 other game in this genre that has animated avatars (and they're in a Patreon-only version you can't find on f95zone).
- Unfortunately, characters besides the player don't have avatars, just photos, which vary in quality.
- There are a voice actress's sound clips which read aloud the first female line of several sexy scenes. It's a nice touch.
- From a technical standpoint, it's excellent. Not too many bugs (except for when I was equipped a chastity belt twice). Beautiful presentation, relatively easy to click through a day. There's even an interesting stealth/sneak mini-game. And probably more I can't remember offhand.

All in all, it's a pretty good game. I'm surprised I didn't hear about it earlier. The only problem I had with it is that the protagonist's characterization is weak and I couldn't self-insert well. I'd almost rather there be zero characterization at all, than a half-baked "reluctant but not reluctant" attitude of a simplistic tsundere submissive male. But I understand this is hard to write for a game with a lot of different paths.

I like this type of game, straightforward, there's enough interactivity to stay captivating. And no need for needless grinding for hours to increment a stat or two.
The 3D graphics are also an interesting innovation, quite uncommon in this types of game.

Overall this is god tier game of its genre, will definitely support
